Long-term functional independence after minimally invasive endoscopic intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation

CONCLUSIONS: In a single-center minimally invasive endoscopic ICH evacuation cohort, NIHSS score on presentation, lack of IVH, and shorter time to evacuation were independently associated with functional independence at 6 months. Factors associated with functional independence may help to better predict populations suitable for minimally invasive endoscopic evacuation and guide protocols for future clinical trials.PMID:35561694 | DOI:10.3171/2022.3.JNS22286
